Every day the U.S. and many other countries see companies and public officials go down.

The reactions by perpetrators are predictable:

▪ Silence▪ Stalling▪ Victim confusion (Predators claims they are the real victims)▪ Testosterosis (verbally slapping around people, accusers, the media, in addition to their victims))▪ Denial (I did not have sex with that woman)▪ Diversion (I am not a crook)▪ Lying (I never crossed that line)▪ Arrogance (They asked for it)▪ Search for the Guilty (Blame shifting)▪ Reverse denigration (I am not a racist)▪ Fear of the Media▪ Whining (Woe is me)▪ Phony apologies (If I offended you, I’m sorry)

Employees are demanding that good companies speak up.

As more and more companies, leaders and senior executives become casualties of sexual assault, #MeToo, #Standup, #Whatsnext, and the prospect of some of previously shunned or ejected offenders returning to work or the public eye, more and more good organizations will have to take stands.
